Asking on this list is a great place to start. Committers are actively
communicating through the mailing lists, forums, bugzilla discussions,
IRC, and bi-weekly phone calls. There is lots of information available on
the wiki to get you started as well. Here is a great entry point to get
you started:

As for EclipseCon I don't know what to say. There are roughly 130 sessions
at EclipseCon, if all the travel expenses of those speakers were paid it
would need to be very expensive for other attendees to balance that out. I
think the trend in open source conferences is towards lower admission fees
so I wouldn't hold out hope for that changing. The Eclipse community does
have quite a few smaller local events that may be closer to home for you.
